Could you please check these and tell my if i did any of them wrong? thanks Convert Degrees Fahrenheit to Degrees Celsius
72 °F = 22.2222 °C
2140 °F = 1171.11 °C
-292 °F = -180 °C
650 °F =343.333 °C
32 °F =0 °C

Convert Degrees Celsius to Degrees Fahrenheit
28 °C = 82.4 °F
950 °C = 1742 °F
-60 °C = -76 °F
100 °C = 212 °F
0 °C = 32 °F

Convert the following temperature measurements.
From To To To
0° F -17.7778 _______° C 255.222_______° K 459.3996_______° R
32° F 0_______° C 273_______° K 491.4_______° R
78° F 25.5556_____° C 298.556_______° K 573.4008_______° R
212° F 100_______° C 373______° K 671.4_______° R
-10° C 14_______° F 263.15_______° K 263.15_______° R
300° C 572_______° F 573.15_______° K 1,031.67_______° R

How did you do the other questions?Do this in the same way.
For the R, see this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine_scale
 

1. How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?

To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, use the formula F = (C x 9/5) + 32, where F is the temperature in Fahrenheit and C is the temperature in Celsius.

2. What is the formula for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius?

The formula for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius is C = (F - 32) x 5/9, where C is the temperature in Celsius and F is the temperature in Fahrenheit.

3. Can I use a calculator to convert temperatures?

Yes, you can use a calculator to convert temperatures as long as you enter the correct formula and values.

4. Is there a difference between Kelvin and Celsius?

Yes, there is a difference between Kelvin and Celsius. Kelvin is an absolute temperature scale, meaning 0 Kelvin is absolute zero. Celsius, on the other hand, is a relative temperature scale, with 0 degrees Celsius being the freezing point of water.

5. What is the conversion factor between Kelvin and Celsius?

The conversion factor between Kelvin and Celsius is 1, as they are both measured on the same scale with a difference of 273.15 units.
